A Quote by Gillian Flynn

The worst feeling: when you just have to wait and prepare yourself for the lie. — © Gillian Flynn
The worst feeling: when you just have to wait and prepare yourself for the lie.
But the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caverns and forests. Lonely one, you are going the way to yourself! And your way goes past yourself, and past your seven devils! You will be a heretic to yourself and witch and soothsayer and fool and doubter and unholy one and villain. You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?
First ask yourself: What is the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then proceed to improve on the worst.
I'm the worst liar - I can't lie for my life. And I don't lie at all, because I'm the worst liar - but as a kid, I thought I was a great liar, so I would lie all the time, but everybody knew I was lying.
Prepare yourself for the worst, and the best will always happen.
If you do not prepare yourself physically to succeed, you must prepare yourself mentally for the humiliation of failure.
You couldn't make yourself stop feeling a certain way, no matter what the other person did. You had to just wait. Eventually the feeling went away because others came along. Or sometimes it didn't go away but got squeezed into something tiny, and hung like a piece of tinsel in the back of your mind.
Feeling good and feeling bad are not necessarily opposites. Both at least involve feelings. Any feeling is a reminder of life. The worst 'feeling' evidently is non-feeling.
If you want to write fiction, the best thing you can do is take two aspirins, lie down in a dark room, and wait for the feeling to pass.
It’s just as easy to lie to yourself as it is to lie to other people. Maybe easier.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Don't try to write through it, to force it. Many do, but that won't work. Just wait, it will come.
You never know what's going to happen. You don't want to get in there and not be ready. That's the worst thing you can do. You have to prepare yourself as No. 1, to be the best and play against the best.
When you're feeling your worst, that's when you get to know yourself the best.
But what's real? You can't find the truth. You just pick the lie you like best. As long as you know that everything's a lie, you can't hurt yourself.
If you don’t prepare, you could lose everything. If you prepare for the worst and nothing happens, you’ve lost nothing.
I was just a kid. I think I stole a candy bar. I remember feeling so terrible. It was the worst shock. I was probably 7. That's my least favorite feeling: guilt.
No one wants to drown. Drowning would be the worst. Cause everyone knows that feeling. That feeling, oh it's the worst... when you think you're drowning.
